THEY FOUND A HERMIT.
He Lives in an Abandoned Mine Over
in jersey.
From the Ne,v York Times.

From the Ne10 York Times.
just on the outskirts of the pretty village
of Arlington, on the banks of the Passaic
river, is the copper mine which at one time
furnished considerable wealth to many of
the old residents of Newark, N. j. For a
number of years it has not been worked,
and is only visited occasionally through Gu
riosity The entrance to the mine is in the
side of the bluff which overlooks the GENE
terry, and in front is a stretch of meadow
which reaches almost to Snake Hill.
Several days ago George Oliver, a con-
tractor, had occasion to visit the cemetery,
when he discovered a man of odd appear
ance, who seemed to be vending his way to
the entrance of the mine. Mr.. Oliver
started after him to see who he was When
he was near the stranger the man turned
around and, giving ventto an exclamation,
disappeared in the mouth of the mine.
Oliver went home and told the story to a
few of his neighbors, who concluded to in
vestigate the matter. They equipped them
selves with lanterns and other necessares
and started upon the search. They traversed
the mine in all directions and finally at last
got lost. After walking around for several
hours the party saw light long distance
away They followed it. When trey
reached the light they found that it pro
ceeded from pot of grease in which was a
lighted rag. They were on a raised plat
form about Is feet square, which evidently
formed a living place for some one.
While standing there they heard a hoarse
voice demanding what they were doing.
Raising their lanterns they discovered man
who appeared to be about 40 years of age.
He was of medium size and well built, with
long hair and beard. He was clad in an old
coat, dark shirt, baggy trousers, and very
old shoes. The hermit again asked why
they were there, and they replied that they
were exploring the mine and had lost their
way. He then offered TO show them the
way out. When they asked his history he
at first refused TO talk, but at length told
the following story, though he would not
give his name:
He said that four years ago he lived on
Thirty-seventh street, New York. Several
months before that he had married the
daughter of boss bricklayer, and adored
his wife. He was employed in a plumbing
establishment and earned good wages. For
some time all went well. but he discovered
that his wife was untrue to him. He at
once left home, with thoughts of suicide in
his mind Wandering about he finally went
to the Arlington Cemetery. There he
changed his mind and entering the mine
made himself home there. He has once
been TO New York and told a friend Of his
purpose, and then returning has remained
there ever since. He is ignorant of the
whereabouts of his wife, and says he does
not want to know where she is

What an opportunity for men of all eras

ever wrote concerning woman's inhumanity

lady said she wore the lightest garments she

PROHIBITION IN TEXAS.

BOLDLY FOR TEMPERANCE.

A Genuine Surprise and Sensation in the

whisky men I'm Secret Session.
GALVESTON, Tex, April 1.-THE prohibi-
ton question is rapidly assuming a front
rank among the political issues of Texas,
The late legislature passed an act submitting
this question to vote Of the people In
August. The anti Prohibitionists ar organ
izing for the battle Chief among them is
ex-Lieutenant Governor Gibbs, of Dallas;
Hon Walter Gresham, Of Galveston, and
politicians of lesser note, who have consti-
tuted themselves com mittee representing
the Democracy of Texas, and are inviting
prominent Democrats to attend a meeting on
the 18th for the purpose of calling conven-
tion in May ITO set forth clearly and univer-
sally the time -honored principles OF Dem
ocracy in it's opposition to all forms of
sumptrary legislation"
The News prints an open letter from Sena-
tor John H. Reagan replying to the invita-
ton of the committee to attend the coming
meeting Reagan's letter will produce gem
uine sensation i'll the political world OF
Texas. He comes out squarely in favor OF
prohibition, and deals the opposition some
herculean blows from Democratic stand
point. Two years ago Mr.. Reagan stood
beside Senator Coke, Governor Ireland, Con-
gresham Mills and other prominent Demo-
Gratis in strenuously opposing the growth Of
the prohibition idea on the ground that it
was a sacred principle Of the Democracy to
oppose sumptuary laws Of whatever charac-
ter. Reagap's complete change of views on
this subject surprises even his nearest friends
After picturing at length the wretchedness
and dishonor to be encountered in every
community resulting from ths use of liquor
the senator says: ~ must express my re-
grets that any effor1 has been made to make
a party question Of prohibition, and espec-
tally do l regret that Democrats should seek
to identify that great and grand historic
party with thu fortunes and fate OF the
whisky shoe drunkards and criminals.

Fraudulent voting in Miohigan.

MARQUETTE, Mich, April 1.-THE bitter
ness OF the local fight on prohibition in
Cogebic county SEEMS to have caused the
most reckless voting ever perpetrated. It is
stated that the authorities are seeking legal
advice, and are determined to throw ont the
vote. Itis reported that men were brought
in from Wisconsin by the wagon load to
vote, and votes were openly purchased. 1t
is not believed that there are 1880 voters in
that county, although they claim 100
against the amendment That wholesale
fraudulent voting was carried on there seems
apparent, and if tho county is thrown out
the state has certainly carried the amend
ment.

A MOTHERS AWFUL DEATH.
Saves Her Children From Prairie Fire,
but Succumbs Herself

LINCOLN, Neb, April II Mrs John
Stowell, of St Paul, Neb., left home yester-
day to visit a neighbor. She was accom-
panied by her three children, but when a
few rods from the house Mrs. Stowell discov-
cred that there was prairie fire near by,
and sent the children back home and con-
tinned her journey alone. When evening
came and Mrs. Stowell did not return
home, her children started to meet their
mother.
They lad gone about twenty five rods
when they saw some strange object in a
small canyon, and on going closer, found
their mother lying ON her back, her arms
folded across her breast, literally burned to
a crisp. Every stitch OF clothing was burned
from her body, and though 1t was scarcely
yet dark, the wolves, which abound III the
neighboring canyons had already torn and
lacerated the cooked flesh. The prairie fire,
under the force of fierce tornado, went
north. sweeping over a vast tract of country.

Saved from Free Passes.

WASHINGTON, April ia distinguished
railroad official, now in the city, says the
operation of the interstate commerce law
result in enormous savings to the great trunk
lines of the country. The gross earnings of
the Pennsylvania system will, he says, show
hondsome Increase for the second quarter
Of the present year over the quarter just
ended. The profits which will follow the
abolition of the issuance of passes will in
itself on the Pennsylvania alone aggregate
1T least $50 1000 year. President Roberts,
Of that road, recently told the Herald in
.formant iha5 they had at that time outstand-
ing the unusually large number of 6a,OOo
annual passes. He had attempted to reduce
this large number repeatedly, but so many
considerations were involved that he was
forced to desist. The interstate commerce
law relieves the road of the most serious EN-
barrassment it has abored unaer for years.
